Hello!

This lecture is about planning your learning experience! Let's

see how to get the most off of this course

so at the end you will be an efficient, a valuable Python programmer.

My first advice is to go figure out these training using a laptop or a PC

since you are going to work with a lot of code and you are going to have to keep the pace. Watching this

course on a smartphone is something that I strongly don't recommend.

Then you should know that this course is structured in two parts.

The first part consists of very important Python concepts which should be known by any effective Python

programmer.

I've tried to include all of Python three key concepts you should know. Of course, if you feel there is

something I've missed out get in touch with me I'll update the course accordingly for the best learning

experience.

And now comes something important!

Please go throughout the first part of the course in the order that I have provided. Only this way you

will benefit from a coherent and consistent learning process. Order matters and helps you build a

strong foundation. In the second part of this course

order is not so important.

This part includes Python use-cases that help you be more efficient at your job or in your daily work.

But if for example you are not interested in a topic at all, let's say in SQLl or in network automation,

of course, you can skip those sections. For every Python key concept

you'll get not only a video but also a complete e-book, companion, quizzes, practice exercises, coding

section full of examples and slides.

I'd recommend you to watch the video first, exercise the coding simultaneously with me and if necessary

repeat this process.

Look at the slides and coding sections to deeply understand each concept.

Then test your knowledge with quizzes and practice tasks. If there is something not clear

don't hesitate to get in touch with me or with other students.

Use the questions and answers section of the course.

Keep in mind that programming is difficult in general.

Try to code every day and give yourself some time.

Many studies have shown that an average of one year is necessary to build a strong foundation in a programming

language

if you are a beginner and started from scratch. No one became a great programmer overnight.

Consistency is very important when you are learning a programming language.

I'd recommend you making a commitment to code every day.

And don't forget the only way to really learn coding is to write code!
